[comp.sys.next] Emacs on NeXT STation

melling@cs.psu.edu (Michael D Mellinger) (01/22/91)

Has anyone had any problems with emacs on a NeXT STation. Some
operations, like find-file, perform much slower on the 040 slab. What
gives?

While we're on the subject, does anyone know off the top of their heads
whether/how it's possible on a Cube (OS v. 1.1) to use the alternate key as
the meta key in Emacs?  I've gotten tired of having to hit Escape all the
time.

The Emacs front-end that can be found at nova.cc.purdue.edu uses the
alternate keys as the meta key.  Unfortunately, the cursor dispears
when the front-end is used under 2.0.
